The snap-core package

Snap is a simple and fast web development framework and server written in
Haskell. For more information or to download the latest version, you can
visit the Snap project website at http://snapframework.com/.

This library contains the core definitions and types for the Snap framework,
including:

Early termination of the computation if you know early what you want
to return and want to prevent further monadic processing

Quick start: The Snap monad and HTTP definitions are in Snap.Types,
some iteratee utilities are in Snap.Iteratee.

Higher-level facilities for building web applications (like user/session
management, component interfaces, data modeling, etc.) are planned but not
yet implemented, so this release will mostly be of interest for those who:

need a fast and minimal HTTP API at roughly the same level of abstraction
as Java servlets, or

Flags

Name

Description

Default

portable

Compile in cross-platform mode. No platform-specific code or
optimizations such as C routines will be used.

Disabled

debug

Enable debug logging code. With this flag, Snap will
test the DEBUG environment variable to decide whether to do
logging, and this introduces a tiny amount of overhead
(a call into a function pointer) because the calls to 'debug'
cannot be inlined.

Disabled

Use -f <flag> to enable a flag, or -f -<flag> to disable that flag. More info
